Some claim that a vegan diet is good for you, maybe. I'm inclined to think that lots of vegetables, some fruit, some rice & bread, some meat, lots of beans and other legumes, lots of water, an occasional wine or whisky ( :p ) is good for you and will probably see you through a long life. Eggs are fine too. Butter is tasty and not some sort of pariah food same goes for oils despite claims in some quackish videos on youtube.

I have a friend from High School who is a vegan. I'm not sure if I could do it. I will have to look up some healthy recipes. (vegan and not)

I know Jordan and I need to start cooking again as the fast foods are horrible. So much sugar and fat.

Cooking is good, the smells are lovely, the tastes are very good indeed, and the price is low. Most of the time it is as fast or faster than "fast foods". The only draw back is washing up :p

Microwave cooking is okay for some things but you can't beat a real oven to really get things toasted or crispy just right.

We rarely eat out and you're right that fast food is full of sugar and salt and fat and isn't the best for you. When we go out we do not go to a chain restaurant because the mom and pops are healthier.

I think I eat healthier in the summer when fruits and veggies are abundant and cheap! Watermelon is my go to fruit for the summer and it fills me up and satisfies my sweet tooth. I just didn't get any good ones this year. They were all mush inside!

Many Microwave Ovens also do Convection cooking :)

I always have a sweet tooth so I need to start eating fruits instead of bad sweets. Candy, ice cream.

I like to bake chicken, and pork chops with veggies in a large casserole with a bit of water in the bottom at 325 degrees for about an hour. I like the chicken breasts and the lean pork pieces. Baking is better than frying.

I also like to stir fry and use cooking spray when I do that. The veggies come out crispy and pretty and tasty but if you are cooking meat you should put it in chopped up first and fry and toss with a fork as you cook it. This is healthy eating too.

I also take a multivitamin and calcium with vitamin D every day.

I also eat eggs with cheese as in omelettes at times. I'm trying not to eat too much cheese because it is high in fat. There is low fat cheese you can get, too.

Broiling steaks is something I like to do every week or so.

I have bananas freezing right now! It was great having them last week when it was sort of hot outside and I was doing the landscaping. Great treat!!
